David and Vaughn, Can either of you confirm that this behavior is specific to Window-Eyes. I ask because it is possible that the form controls are not implemented in a compliant and accessible way. Also, if you can share a publicly available combo box that exhibits this behavior, we could better investigate the issue. Thanks, Marc
